Ingredients
- 350 g | 12 1/2 oz skinless cod haddock, salmon pieces (1 packet fish pie mix)
- 250 ml | 1 cup milk
- 5 spring onions scallions
- 1 large shallot
- 150 g | 5 1/2 oz Panko breadcrumbs divided
- 1 tsp chopped fresh dill
- 1 tsp chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
- 1 tsp chopped fresh chives
- 2 tsp Pickles
- 1 tsp capers
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- zest of a lemon
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- sunflower oil and butter or olive spread to fry
- <br>
- For the tartar sauce
- 5 heaped tbsp mayonnaise I used light mayo
- 1 tbsp dill pickles
- 1 tbsp capers
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp dill juice
- 1 tsp fresh dill finely chopped
- Lemon wedges to serve
Instructions
- Put the milk in a deep-sided frying pan and add the fish. Cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes until the fish falls apart when flaked with a fork. Drain the fish and leave to cool. Reserve the poaching liquid – you might need some of it.
- Put the shallot, spring onions, herbs, pickles and capers in a mini chopper and pulse until finely chopped. Alternatively chop everything by hand.
- Place in a bowl together with half the breadcrumbs, the mayonnaise, lemon juice and zest and fish. Mix together with a fork or break the fish apart with your hands.
- Mix in the egg to bind together. If the mix is a bit too dry, add a little of the poaching liquid. Form little balls with slightly wet hands.
- Put the remaining breadcrumbs in a plate and season liberally with salt and pepper. Roll the fish croquettes in the breadcrumbs to coat.
- Heat 3 tbsp of butter and 2 tbsp of sunflower oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the croquettes, in batches if necessary, until golden – around 6 minutes total, turning frequently. Drain on kitchen paper.
- Make the tartar sauce. Finely chop the pickles, capers and dill and mix with the mayonnaise, pickle and lemon juice.
- Serve the fish croquettes warm with the tartar sauce and lemon wedges on the side.
